01 Executive_Summary
InterNASA (National Academy of Science and Arts LLC DBA InterNASA) was a Utah LLC launched by Joe Firmage in 2016.

The venture collapsed in 2018-2019 amid allegations of fraud, unpaid compensation, and false claims about government contracts.
03 Deep_Dive_Intelligence
InterNASA was registered as a Utah LLC under the name National Academy of Science and Arts, LLC, doing business as InterNASA. It was launched by Joe Firmage in 2016 as a successor to his earlier Motion Sciences Organization. The venture attracted investors including former Congressman Daniel Marriott and employed Bob Kiviat as a producer. Ronald Pandolfi served as an advisor. Eric Hermanson participated in what he later described as a "special project" through InterNASA, claiming it was a CIA Special Access Program. Public evidence does not support the CIA SAP claim and instead supports a private commercial venture. The Marmer v. Firmage lawsuit alleges InterNASA claimed a $200 million DOD contract that did not exist, obtaining $666,717 from investors with no returns. Kiviat sued for approximately $300,000 in unpaid compensation. The Utah LLC is now expired. Firmage was arrested on criminal fraud charges related to InterNASA investor solicitation and ordered to stand trial in February 2024. A default judgment was entered against Firmage in the Marmer case in August 2024.
